Certified Advanced War God, Consciousness Induction Helmet

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened; the 56th floor had arrived.

Two blonde women led the way, and Chu He followed them into a spacious reception hall.

Inside the hall, the floor was covered with a hand-woven wool carpet, and two luxurious leather sofas were placed facing each other.

Sitting on one of the sofas was a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties.

The man was bald with a hooked nose and deep-set eyes—a classic British appearance.

"Hello, Mr. Chu He. You can just call me Mars." Mars's attitude was respectful, and his smile was perfectly standard.

"British?" Chu He asked curiously as he sat on the opposite sofa.

"Mr. Chu He, Britain no longer exists. I am a citizen of the European Union," Mars replied with a serious expression.

"This is not the time for idle chatter. Let us deal with your goods first."

During the Great Nirvana, under the beast tides triggered by countless sea monsters, all island nations across the globe had long since perished.

Because of its economic strength at the beginning of the 21st century, Britain had begun its migration early, managing to preserve a relatively intact political system.

However, it had currently been incorporated into the European Union.

Of the nine major family consortiums in the HR Alliance, four originated from Britain.

Hearing this reply, Chu He said no more.

"Clatter!"

He pulled open the zipper of his backpack and dumped all the monster materials inside onto the table in front of them.

Mars had initially felt a hint of annoyance at Chu He's forwardness, but when he saw the materials spilled out, he couldn't help but gasp.

Among these materials, several pale gold scales were particularly eye-catching.

On those pale gold scales, there were faint traces of bloodstains.

"Mountain Giant Ape!" Mars couldn't help but exclaim. He even stood up immediately, intending to lean over the table for a closer look.

After standing up, he saw the two blonde women still standing to the side and immediately waved his hand, saying, "You two, get out!"

These two blonde women worked at the HR Alliance headquarters, so they naturally understood the value of such high-level monsters.

Upon hearing the name "Mountain Giant Ape," they looked at Chu He with shock in their green eyes.

However, they quickly composed their expressions at Mars's gesture, bowed, and replied, "Yes, Supervisor."

Leaning over the desk, Supervisor Mars exclaimed repeatedly:

"Chest scales from a Mountain Giant Ape! And it's an Advanced Lord Level one at that!"

When making the appointment, Chu He had only vaguely mentioned that he had a batch of materials worth 20 billion Huaxia Currency for sale, without providing specific details.

Seeing the actual items were the remains of an Advanced Lord Level Mountain Giant Ape, he naturally couldn't help but cry out in surprise.

One had to understand that ape-type monsters possessed extremely high intelligence.

An Advanced Lord Level Mountain Giant Ape, once it determined it was outmatched, would never fight to the death like other monsters of the same rank.

The difficulty of killing an Advanced Lord Level Mountain Giant Ape was far greater than that of an average Advanced Lord Level monster!

At the very least, the vast majority of Advanced War Gods could not achieve such a feat.

"Please wait a moment, Mr. Chu He, I will process this for you immediately." Mars took an instrument from behind him and began the inspection right away.

As the testing proceeded, his expression grew increasingly shocked.

He had completely failed to anticipate that there were materials from two different Lord Rank monsters in this batch!

One was the Advanced Lord Level Mountain Giant Ape, and the other was a Black Scale Giant Python.

Just as Mars was testing these monster materials, Chu He reminded him again: "By the way, please help me with the combat record assessment and update my martial artist strength rating while you're at it."

Based on the materials Chu He had presented, it was more than enough to certify the strength of an Advanced War God.

"No problem." Mars nodded repeatedly, his heart filled with astonishment.

To update the martial artist strength rating, Mars had naturally seen Chu He's age.

An 18-year-old Advanced War God! This isn't something that can be achieved just by having a good background; his own talent must be exceptional!

"Mr. Chu He," Mars said, acting even more respectfully, "the price for the Mountain Giant Ape is 24 billion Huaxia Currency, and the price for the Black Scale Giant Python is 1.8 billion Huaxia Currency."

"Mr. Chu He, if you sell all these materials, I can take the liberty of offering you 26 billion Huaxia Currency."

"26 billion?" Chu He repeated the number and gave a slight nod.

This price was roughly similar to the value of the previous batch of Frost Shadow Deer.

However, the Frost Shadow Deer were not only numerous, but that Primary Lord Level Frost Shadow Deer was basically worth as much as a Mid-Level Lord, making it much more valuable than that Black Scale Giant Python.

When calculated as a whole, the total value was indeed not much different.

Mars sat before his laptop, operated it for a while, then turned his head to look at Chu He and bowed slightly, saying:

"Mr. Chu He, 26 billion Huaxia Currency has been transferred to your exclusive martial artist account, and your martial artist strength rating has been updated to Advanced War God."

At this moment, Chu He's profile was still displayed on the computer screen, and in the rank column, it clearly read: Advanced War God.

Chu He looked over, just in time to see a prompt box pop up below—

"War God Palace application, under review..."

"By the way, I'm not sure if you are aware, but once your strength rating reaches War God, you are automatically enrolled into the War God Palace without needing to apply, and you will receive a Consciousness Sensor."

"However, the War God Palace usually sends someone to verify Mr. Chu He's strength. Please rest assured, the people from the War God Palace will be here today to..."

Mars said, glancing at the computer screen.

"Beep!"

A prompt box suddenly popped up on the laptop screen.

[War God Palace assessment passed!]

"Huh?"

Mars suddenly stopped his explanation.

He felt like his explanation just now made him look a bit like a clown.

An 18-year-old Advanced War God—just thinking about it, one would know he must have a significant background; how could he possibly not know about the War God Palace?

Look at this now: no one came to conduct an assessment on him, and he passed directly.

What kind of background and strength is this!

Mars knew clearly that a situation like this, where the assessment is waived and passed directly, requires the recognition of the War God Palace Council.

That was recognition from the War God Palace Council!

The highest council of the War God Palace—every Councilor is an existence that transcends the War God level!

Thinking of this, Mars's smile became even more fawning. He hurried out to have someone bring a pot of hot tea and poured it himself.

"Mr. Chu He, please have some tea."

"There is no need to rush. We are at the HR Alliance headquarters, and there are War God Palace staff right here in the building. Someone will bring the items over very soon."

"Mm." Chu He was certainly not in a hurry; he picked up the teacup and took a light sip.

Soon, in about a few minutes, three men wearing silver uniforms opened the door to the reception room and walked in.

Among them, a bald man wearing sunglasses held a metal case and said respectfully to Chu He:

"War God Chu He, welcome to the War God Palace. You will receive a Consciousness Induction Helmet free of charge."

Chu He was naturally aware of the Consciousness Induction Helmet.

This item, much like the Trial Tower at the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, was a virtual space that belonged exclusively to Hong.

When Hong fell into a slumber due to the Golden Horned Beast, the War God Palace immediately became unusable.

However, Chu He had never been to the War God Training Camp at the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, so he was unsure if the Trial Tower there and the War God Palace belonged to the same virtual space.

But thinking about it carefully, it was likely the same one.

How could there possibly be two different virtual spaces unearthed on Earth?

Of course, these were just Chu He's guesses; for now, it was enough to have the item in his hands.

"Thank you." Chu He smiled and took it.

After opening the metal case, Chu He saw the deep blue helmet inside at a glance.

With the item in hand, he could finally return home with peace of mind.

"Goodbye, everyone." Chu He casually stowed the metal case into his backpack and strode out.
